position.-TAe PHILADELPHIA Press.
There is big sentiment crystalizing In
The Tenth Legion in favor of Hon. w. NJ,
Rapsher, of Carboa County, for the Demo
cratic nomination fer Judge of the Supreme
Court. If the Stale Treasurer should go
10 Plummer, Of Venange, which now looks
likely it would be entirely proper to give
the Supreme Courtship to Carbon, which
has never, ar. hardly ever, had place on a
Democratic State ticket.-PAild, city Item.

present his name to the Convention and
urge his nomination as man who is in
every essential qualification fitted for the

Democrats in Carbon county are urging
the nomination of w. M. Rapshcr for Su-
preme Judge. One of the points made is
shat that Democratic section of the State
has not had a candidate on the Democratic
State ticket for great many years.-Phil-
odelphid Press.
Hon. w. NJ. Rapsher, a prominent and
distinguished lawyer of Mauch Chunk,
Carbon county, is prominently mentioned
in connection with the nomination of the
Democratic party for Judge Of the Supreme
Court of PENNSYLVANIA. His candidacy
will be pushed by his friends and the Dem
ocracy of that section of the State. The
old 10th Legion, the stronghold of Penn
sylvania Democracy, it is claimed, is en-
titled to recognition at the hands of the
State Democracy. Mr. Rapsher, besides
being an able and eminent lawyer, is also
positive Democrat. If he will be nomn-
ated the Democracy can feel assured that
In its candidate it possesses a man well

County Democrat
An honest and able Democrat, of Carbon
county, an admirer of the distinguished
lawyer, Hon. w. NJ. Rapsher, of Mauch
Chunk, sends us an article from the CAR
BON ADVOCATE of Lehighton, ably urging
the nomination of Mr.. Rapsher, for Su-
preme Judge by the Allentown convention.
The Democrat has, however, al
ready indicated that its preference for the
judgeship is Hon Cyrus l.. Pershng, of
from wishing all deserving Democrats well.
The ADVOCATE says: "For the position of
judge, Carbon county has just the man and
lawyer that meets the requirements of the
position. He is fitted, qualified and in the
prime of life. His capabilities to fully dis
charge the duties of the position, imparti-
ally and judicially are beyond question.
The individual in view is the Hon. w. N.
Rapsher, of Mauch Chunk. Let the Dem
ocracy of Carbon county present his name
and urge it with an earnest purpose and
success may crown the effort.
at is not necessary for the ADVOCATE
to dwell upon the requirements of the posi-
ton, for all such as are acquainted with
Mr., Rapsher are fully aware of the fact
that in every essential he is equipped to
fulfill the responsibilities of the place. AS
man versed in the law he has few If any
superiors. His ability and judicial capaci
ty is unquestioned and his fairness cannot
be impugned. He is fit, he is capable and
Is worthy of the plaee.-JohastOteR Demo
